NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints are hiring former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley as their defensive coordinator, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Jeremy Fowler.
Staley will be Saints coach Kellen Moore's third coordinator hire this week. Sources told ESPN the Saints are expected to hire Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier to be their offensive coordinator. They offered the special teams coordinator position to Phil Galiano, who was previously the Saints assistant special teams coordinator under Darren Rizzi.
Staley and Nussmeier both have previous ties to Moore and have been considered potential targets for the vacant positions for several weeks.
